Daniil Medvedev vs Alexander Zverev prediction

Daniil Medvedev’s ‘step-by-step’ improvement will be put to the test when he resumes his long-standing rivalry with Alexander Zverev.

The Russian has had a disappointing 2025 by his own standards but with signs of an upward shift with a new coaching set up, the former world number one reached the last eight in Beijing with an impressive 6-3 6-3 win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. 

The eighth seed will now meet second seed Zverev for the 21st time after the German fought off Corentin Moutet 7-5 3-6 6-3.

Medvedev leads the match-up 13-7 and has won the last four encounters, including a 6-4 6-3 semi-final success in Beijing two years ago. 

Indeed, Medvedev has won 12 of the last 14 meetings in a rivalry that started with Zverev winning five of the first six. 

Both players know each other inside and out and there will be little chance to surprise each other tactically. Expect big-serving and plenty of baseline exchanges with Medvedev targeting the world number three's forehand in the pressure moments.
